By Eddie Ash FACTS THE JUVENILES OVERLOOK tt tt a THREE HOOSIERS ALL-NEW YORK

in *he midst of the announcement of a lot of allAmerica football teams an old-timer, Hugh Fullerton, who knows sports from soup to call-a-cab time, bursts out with an all-New York, all-time baseball team to give the stove league something to chew the fat over. Few will dispute his selections owing to the fact they don’t remember and “don’t know what time it is.” Naturally, Babe Ruth, Matty Mathewson, Roger Bresnahan and Lou Gehrig are named, but of interest to Indianapolis is the fact that three Hoosiers are chosen. They are Amos Rusie, pitcher; Jerry Denny, third base, and Art Nehf, pitcher. Rusie and Denny performed on the diamond for Indianapolis back in the eighties and nineties, “or thereabouts,” where the Methodist Hospital now stands. Nehf was from Terre Haute, a graduate of Rose Poly, a pitcher of the modern era. It will take the veteran baseball fans to give the highlights of Rusie and Denny, but they certainly must have been standouts to be picked on an all-time New York roster, even preceding the John McGraw reign in Gotham. Old-timers say Jerry Denny was the Babe Ruth of his day and that Amos Rusie threw the horschide so fast the boys merely swung their bats and then went to the bench and took a drink of water. I

IT took a long time to get around to it. but anyway it's interesting. The "winning quarter back’’ in the Notre Dame-Ohio State football game, Joe McKenna, the lad that called the pass play that beat the Bucks and the clock, was not taken to Columbus with th Irish squad. His name was left o. the "going” list. But he paid his own way and went with students. McKenna "waited at the gate” for the N. D. coaches and asked to be passed in. Once inside the stadium McKenna was spotted by Coach Layden, who said, "Well, now that you’re here, you might as well put on a uniform and sit on the bench.” And in the spectacular tussle Layden finally "ran out” of quarter backs, all except McKenna, who wasn’t supposed to be there. And McKenna, the "forgotten sub” drew the assignment to dash out and call the last play, Shakespeare to Millner, that won the year’s biggest thriller. Moreover, McKenna helped make the play good by assisting in protecting Shakespeare until the ball was on its way to the Buckeye goal. a tt a CASEY STENGEL, manager of the Brooklyn baseball club, was the author of a choice crack in Chicago yesterday. He said what his team needs is more guys that can hit and catch a ball, not fellows to count tickets. It was Casey's way of "weeping” over the resignation of Bob Quinn, business manager, who has joined the reorganized Boston Braves. n tt tt VOTED the most valuable player in the National League in 1926 Catcher Bob O'Farrell is now on the unemployed list. His unconditional release was announced by the St. Louis Cards. Bob has been going down hill since the “most valuable” award was made. tt t a MIKE CROWE, of the Lafayette Crowes, Is a member of the current Notre Dame basket squad. Four brothers preceded him on Irish sports teams. And there’s still another! Young Emmet is a freshie at South Bend—playing football and basketball. a a American association magnates made much of the fact that they retired Prexy Tom Hickey on a life pension of S2OO a month. In other words, they gave him the “Townsend treat.” But it happens that Tom is 74, indicating that the club owners ai'e not so magnanimous after all. They have the “law of averages" on their side. a u u GIVE the "up” line another first down. Although the Kentucky Derby is nearly five months away. Col. Matt Winn of Louisville, has reported that he has received 20 per cent more reservations for the turf classic at Churchill Downs than at the same time in 1935. It usually rains on Derby Day but the horse race goers never lose courage.

Zaharias Retains ‘Crown ’ as *King of Meanies’Here Cry Baby Outtoughs Joe Cox, Who Is Stunned When Fans Cheer Him in Armory Tug. As far as Hoosier wrestling fans are concerned, Weeping George Zaharias still is the king bee of the meanies. George the Cry Baby clinched the “honors” at the Armory last night by dumping Rowdy Joe Cox, who is quite some toughy himself.

It must have been odd music to Joe's cauliflowered ears to hear the customers giving him cheers and encouragement, just like he was a Jack Kennedy. For one ft 1, all this good will on the part of the fans had the desired effect. After 15 minutes of tugging. Rowdy Joe wound up on top to get off to a lead. The Clevelander scored with a reverse headlock which, when used a few minutes previously by George the Cha-Cha, had the spectators standing on their chairs shouting "strangle.” At least, it looked like the same grip—but Referee Berry agreed with the fans, so evidently there was some difference. Rowdy Joe's lead didn't last very i long. Sixteen minutes later, afterj surviving a series of flying tackles, Zaharias grabbed Cox’ arms in a reverse slam, whammed Joe to the mat, plopped down on top of him and it was curtains. Cox ‘‘stayed put" for 10 minutes —didn’t move. Then they resumed hostilities, but only for three minutes. Forearm punches, slams and j that is-or-isn*t-it-a-strangle hold put Cox down for the count, and George stalked out with his meanie laurels intact. Jack Kennedy, ‘‘the people's choice,” added another triumph to his string here by flattening Harold Metheny, Alton till.) roly-poly. For 22 minutes, Metheny gave the Minneapolis speedster plenty to do. Then he tossed Jack over the top rope into the aisle. As Kennedy clamored back, Harold dashed across the ring. That's where he made a mistake. Kennedy flashed through the ropes head first, sank his noggin in the Metheny midriff, and fell on him for the fall. Louis Thesz, St. Louis youngster, won the opener from Billy Burns, Denver, substituting for Cliff Olson, out of commission with an ear abscess. Burns made an ungraceful three-point landing after a flying 9

r^noop M HITS Bt'vn of leading coaches BY EVERETT S. DEAN Coach, Indiana University THIS basketball play was designed for a big center. The long pass, double pass, and fast, break combination affords a feature that appeals to fans. The play is executed as follows: The big center taps the ball to G-l, who deflects it to G-2, who,

in turn, throws a long pass to the center, cutting for a position directly in front of the defensive man at the foul ring. This defensive player usually is a small man, which, of course, helps the big center to receive the pass. The center momentarily is set free out of the center ring by a block by F-l. The center, upon receiving the long pass, returns it immediately to the open man, who might be F-l, F-2, or G-l, cutting fast for the basket. (Copyright. 1935, NEA Service, Inc.)

Yanks Worry as Rivals Add Star Players Ruppert Needs New Talent to Keep Pace; Quiet in National League. BY WINTHROP LYMAN United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Dec. 11.—Officials of th? New York Yankees are so panicky they are expected to announce an important player deal during the major league baseball meeting today. Col. Jacob Ruppert, brewer and owner, etiher must loosen the strings of his ample purse or likely see his team wind up below the Boston Red Sox and the Detroit Tigers next year. A week ago Ruppert and Joe McCarthy, manager of the Yankees, announced confidently that they could win the flag in 1936 with their present squad. Two deals yesterday caused a radical change in their plans. First, Jimmy Foxx, slugging first baseman, and Johnny Marcum, young pitcher, were sold to the Red Sox by Philadelphia. Second, A1 Simmons, erstwhile batting champion of the American League, was sold to the Detroit Tigers by the Chicago White Sox. The transactions added so much strength to the Boston and Detroit clubs that Col. Rubbert finally admitted he might be forced to spend some dough in order to put his team in next year’s race. Ruppert Wants Harder

Ruppert was willing to trade Ben Chapman, his tempermental outfielder, and Johnny Allen, a pitcher, to Cleveland in exchange for Mel Harder, the Indians’ ace hurler. But Cleveland officials turned down their thumbs and said: “We won’t trade but you can buy Harder if you put up enough cash.” The Indians are more interested in obtaining a catcher than an outfielder, so Manager Steve O’Neill has concentrated his efforts on that department. One rumor said that Cleveland and the Chicago White Sox have a deal coming up, but there was no confirmation. Quinn to Run Braves Because of the Foxx ahd Simmons deals, the major news yesterday broke in American League headquarters. It may be different today, however, since the way for trades in the National League was opened when Bob Quinn was awarded the franchise for the Boston Braves. Backed by a syndicate of business men, Quinn will run the Braves next year with a view toward pulling them out of the red. His plan was given unanimous support by National League executives with the stipulation that Charles Francis Adams, former majority stockholder in the club, would have no connection with the team. Kenesaw Mountain Landis, commissioner of baseball, frowned on Adams because of the latter’s race horse connections. National League owners and managers have been reticent so far about their trading plans. Casey Stengel of Brooklyn says all he wants is ball players; Bill Terry of the Giants is fairly well sasitfied with his present club; Branch Rickey of St. Louis says he has had no offers but will dispose of all bn the important cogs in his machine; Manager Charley Grimm of Chicago wants to trade Outfielder Chuck Klein to the Phillies for Pitcher Curt Davis; Pittsburgh and Cincinnati will retain their present squads and Boston has no money to spend. Americans Veto Night Ball Both leagues held the first meetings yesterday. As the Nationals went on record to continue their night baseball policy status quo, the Americans again voted unanimously against the floodlights. The Nationals will do the same next year as they did in 1935—permit each club to play seven home games at night. Ford Frick, former New York newspaperman, who has been president of the league one year, was reelected for a two-year term, and given a raise in salary. Boston was selected as the site for the 1936 allstar game. The Americans elected Ruppert vice president to succeed the late Frank J. Navin of Detroit. Walter O. Briggs, new owner of the Detroit Tigers, was elected to membership in the league. The American League voted, subject to approval by the National League, to admit children under 13 to ball games for 25 cents and to place eastern teams on a schedule which would send them against western opponents on a 3-3-3-2 basis. Under the present system, I eastern clubs play two four-game series and one three-game series in the west. DUTCH CLARK LEADING PRO LEAGUE SCORER i By United Press NEW YORK. Dec. 11. —Earl I 'Dutch) Clark of the Detroit Lions was the leading scorer of the 1935 National Professional League football season, according to final averages released today. Clark, in 12 1 games, scored six touchdowns, 16 ; extra points and one field goal for 55 points. | Doug Russell. Chicago Cardinals, ; was the leading ground gainer, with 499 yards in 140 carries.

A. A. Owners at Odds on Choice of New President Big Field of Candidates Listed at Chicago; Indianapolis to Open 1936 Season on Sunday. By United Press CHICAGO, Dec. 11. —Unable to agree upon anew president at their first meeting, owners of American Association baseball clubs reconvened late today to name a successor to Thomas J. Hickey, who has been placed on the retired list with a pension.

Billy Evans, former general manager of the Cleveland Americans; L. C. McEvoy, vice president of the St. Louis Browns; George Trautman, president of the Columbus club; Ed L. Shave, St. Paul sports writer, and Dick Farrington, of Sporting News, St. Louis, are the candidates. A committee voted to resume the “Little World Series” with the International League and adopted the Shaughnessy play-off system now used by the International. The club finishing first in the regular season will meet the third-place team and the runner-up will meet the fourthplace club. Winners of the two series then will meet to determine the association’s representative in the “Little World Series.” The committee also voted to abolish the rookie rule which required that each club carry at least four players without class AA experience. A bonus of 94000 was approved for players of the pennant-winning club with S2OOO going to the runners-up. The 154-game schedule will open in the four eastern cities on April 14, with the option of opening on Sunday, April 12. Indianapolis was first to announce it would open on Sunday.

ketball tournament for 24 years has hardly a passing interest in athletics. He feels a little like the famous hiking postman when he goes to a game and doesn’t do it very often. “I like to watch a well-behaved student body and the fine boys on the teams, but nobody ever said I was one to get excited at a basketball game,” he explained. n n NOR does Mr. Trester understand the amazing growth of basketball in this state. “I am sure I didn’t have anything to do with its popularity. All we did here was keep the sport clean,” he added. Then, too. there is all that “czar” business. He stoutly maintains it is an exaggeration. At great length he explained that rules of the Indiana High School Athletic Association, the regulating body of public high school sports, are made by a council of 25 representatives from five state districts. “I don’t have a vote in this body, and I can’t say I agree with all its policies. If their is any czarism in this state, it is in the rules themselves, not in the man who executes them. “You can mark this down, though. As long as those rules are on the book I am going to see they are enforced.” THERE isn't any doubt but what he means it. Mr. Trester is a big man, fully 6 feet 2 inches, with a lot of jaw and a schoolmaster’s look in his eyes. His whole philosophy, he said, is built around this belief. Whether they are good or bad, once rules are written in black or white, he thinks they should be followed out to the letter. “I admit we are strict, but by being so we present a valuable example to school pupils,” Mr. Trester declared. “That is what this country needs. More people to live by rules.” To prove further that he isn’t a despot, the commissioner pointed out that all his executive actions are subject to appeal and review by a board of control. In 1911 he was elected secretary of the board and held that post until 1922 when he was installed as a full-time commissioner. He also has served as school superintendent in Alexandria, Martinsville and La Porte. an a POLITICIANS, even more than sports writers, cause the commissioner a lot of trouble. When the last General Assembly began moaning about reforms in the tournament system, Commissioner Trester and the lesser nobles of Hoosier basketball did a quick retreat. The board adopted a plan whereby semi-final tournaments will be held throughout the state to determine the four teams that will meet in the Butler Fieldhouse n March to determine the "king over all.” In years past 16 teams played in the finals and some members of the Legislature claimed that boys on championship and runner-up squads, who played three games on the last day, suffered great physii cal strain. Although they don’t admit it, the I change was a blow for association leaders, since their medical survey had showed there were no harmful results from these games. It was either change or let the Statehouse get its hands on the “simon pures.” nun “TT is going to cut down on the JL ‘show’ here in Indianapolis,” Mr. Trester said. “Many of the people out in the state, however, feel like we really have given the tournament back to them.” tailor-made suits LOW AS SI WEEKLY Over 700 Patterns to Chnoae From.

He added there was no chance the finals would be moved from here since the association has three years more to run on its lease with Butler University. Usually before the season is over one or more of the 790 schools in the organization will attempt to pull a fast one. and Mr. Trester and his helpers will throw them out for a year. When this happens the hometown sports writers start beating the drums, but Mr. Trester just smiles and says: "When I get too old to take it, I’m going to quit.”
